Chayah (Youth Prison Ministry)

Chayah is a prison ministry based on the Cursillo movement. Chayah is an ancient Hebrew word that means “new life”. The intent of the Chayah ministry is to provide troubled youth with a religious experience that will show them that this new life is possible for them through faith in Jesus Christ.
Volunteers spend about 12 hours a day on the retreat in the prison, eating, praying, sharing, and singing with the kids. The program is run by chaplains, Clergy, and adult volunteers as well as incarcerated kids who have gone through the Chayah weekend and training.
